I’ve not had a tube of red ochre for long. It made a big appearance in this one! Along with the Pthalo Turquoise, it really deviates from the more controlled and subdued palette of the other oil paintings so far. I like lots about it and had a lot of fun but my favourite spots are the little light patches of the river water. I also love the way the trees form a good illusion of depth and form. Scratching stick had fun!
I’m going to come back to this article and explain the change of colour for the dunes. They started off light white/pale yellow. They started to annoy me, so out came the Red Ochre…
